Abstract:
A sheet illumination microscope includes an observation optical system and an illumination optical system configured to illuminate a sample from a direction perpendicular to an observation optical axis of the observation optical system. The illumination optical system includes a first optical system configured to emit a flux that has a prescribed sectional shape and that does not have a light intensity distribution within a prescribed range from the center of gravity position of the sectional shape, and also includes a second optical system. The second optical system includes a deflector configured to deflect, toward the observation optical axis, light entering from a direction parallel to the observation optical axis. The second optical system is configured to form, from the flux, a plurality of light sheets that are parallel to a plane perpendicular to the observation optical axis and that have different traveling directions.
